study support and resistance and learn to trade the breaks of it and either take 10 to 20 pips a day profit from them or move stop to breakeven and let them run. the last way will get you stopped out a lot but the runs will make up for it. If you can learn to get 20 a day and be happy with that your a great trader in my book.

Paulon:I think FxFisherman is a very interesting forum but when I follow the threads on various systems there always seem to be problems with them. All I want to do is find a straightforward method that will generate 20 pips a day for me without having to spend all day watching the computer. Are there traders out there who are achieving this or am I wasting my time?

I suppose that means you have not spend enough time to find out the right techique which suits yourself.

most of the time trading breakouts should be able to gain that 20 pip.

I am new to this site but I would proceed with caution. This is a difficult market and does not regularly hand out easy money. If you don't have the time to do the research you might not want to jump right in. On the other hand there are traders and money managers out there who can generate that sort of profit but once again do your research (get audited reports and trading history preferably from NFA members) there are a lot of scams out there. Good luck...
